Guys, do NOT use fake names.

[Abobo]

The credit cards will not go through unless the name matches the name on the card. What the hell are you children doing? This is NOT A GAME.

Insulting those who wish to protect their privacy from an unconstitutional intrusion are children. Yes. That must be the case. I'm glad you're really leading by example. Your maturity is amazing.

Who cares if 3-4 people out of tens of thousands play a joke? Come on, lighten up.

3-4....oh man....I wish you were correct....I've seen 30+ just watching it ....now with the 6+ Digg articles I have seen have more doing it....I truly wish you were correct....but you are missing the bigger picture...

Question Answered.

 

[xexkxex]

Why are people trying to find an excuse to be able to give a fake name?

I just do not get it.

All I want is what is best for the campaign...and I think using fake names is something they would shine away from and not want us to do or promote.

I'm sure we all can agree on that. This is not my position alone...it is the campaign's position.

I know this because I had to check a box saying... "By checking this box, I confirm that each of the above statements is true and accurate."

A little common sense here... if the display name HAD to match the CC info, there wouldn't be a separate text box to write a name to display for the widget. They would have omitted it as an option.

You still have to write your name....this is so spouses can use family credit cards....common sense...lol.

If clicked this box..
"By checking this box, I confirm that each of the above statements is true and accurate."

..and it was not true...you fncked up....period..

It's for the entire page...most people would assume so who are filling out a form with personal and financial information on it...I'm sorry that you feel that calling me names like a child (Asshole, Troll, etc) can justify your childish and frankly immature joke...

Lying while giving donations is wrong..if you can not see that...then I am truly sorry.

All I want is what is best for the campaign...and I think using fake names is something they would shine away from and not want us to do or promote.

I'm sure we all can agree on that. This is not my position alone...it is the campaign's position.

You fail.

Re: ZZ

I don't know if anyone has answered this from earlier in the thread regarding ZZ, but if you will notice it's preceded by FPO. FPO stands for "Fleet Post Office," and is associated with Navy installations and ships. You may also see APO, which is "Army Post Office." The ZZ is a state code. The only information that I can find on it, is that ZZ is entered when there isn't a known address, which could mean the donor is in the Persian Gulf.

I'm not really sure what you are regarding...

This thread was about people using false names when donating tonight (The Pope, Hillary Clinton, Jesus Christ, ect.)...a lot of people did and even some Digg pages were made...

....I hope nothing comes of it...It would be a shame if it did...

 

[SpicyItalian739]

Just saw a donation from... Betsy Ross... occupation: Flag designer

 

[BlueCalico]

It has to be Ron Paul haters doing it so the campaign will have to reverse them all - a bookkeeping nightmare. Idiots.

 

[chipvogel]

.....where is Ziggy Stardust? He usually shows up for these events.

 

[Cascadian]

It's just my perception, but might I suggest that the discussion regarding fake names be taken someplace private? I've already seen suggestions that if Ron Paul supporters were put into a room together there would be a riot. I would hate to see that appear to be true, because I know that we (Ron Paul supporters) are above that.

 

[richk]

I lol'd

Seriously though, while I agree it's possibly a little unprofessional to be using fake names, it makes me smile to realize that some people are having fun giving money. I think I saw someone mention this earlier, but isn't that exactly what Ron Paul told us to do with this campaign, have fun with it? We're all Ron Paul supporters here, and I think we need to let the little things go. If someone is going to donate as Jesus, fine, I'm pretty sure Jesus wouldn't want out of control government spending either. And since when did we really give any weight to what the media thought of us, we all would've stopped long ago if we took every small hit piece to heart.

"What's victory to you in this campaign?"
"Well, uh, to win."
"That's not gonna happen."

Need I say more?

QFT. If I recall correctly, this happened during last quarter's fundraising also. It's funny--- you naysayers are getting too wound up about this. And you certainly aren't able to stop the process, so.....lighten up. It is funny to see Jesus donating to RP

Yall have no clue how credit card type transactions work. The "name" section is for the widget. The credit card info part is for the FEC and the book-keepers.

THESE NAMES WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN A COUPLE WHINY REDSTATE BLOGGERS!

xexkxex,
Someone brought up the ZZ earlier in the thread. I was replying to that.

I was actually reading back at that just now... I don't know enough to respond to it though...

xexkxex,
I went back to look for the post #, and I think I might have gotten this thread confused with the Hillary Clinton thread, the one with the pictures. Pardon my blunder. In any case, just to clarify what I'm referring to, under the name of the donor appears the city and state, and someone brought up that they saw a state of ZZ. I've seen it, too, today and on Nov. 5th. Just responding with what little I know about ZZ.
